AP Photo/Connie Zhou Whether you need a way to charge your phone in the car, text outdoors, or inexpensive ways to cut down on cord clutter, this list has you covered.

There are a ton of options when looking for accessories to solve these everyday problems, but our picks will get the job done without breaking the bank.

While our goal was to stand under $20, which we did, most of the items on this list cost closer to $15, which is more savings for you. So whether you're looking for a way to solve one of your problems, a family member or friends problems, or need a last second gift for someone, you'll find the 11 options below will solve a lot of daily problems.

Use your devices — even when it's freezing out — with some touchscreen-friendly gloves

Agloves

Winter is in full swing in many parts of the world, and thankfully the choice between protecting your fingers and using your smartphone or tablet is no more. These gloves will keep your fingers warm, while allowing you to touch your screen as much as you'd like.

Anker's four port USB charger will keep all your devices juiced up

Anker

If you've ever been traveling with multiple people, or multiple devices, you've probably had the 'I need to charge everything' problem. This four-port wall charger eliminates that problem — hook up all your cables and you're in good shape. Overnight guests will be thankful for this at the end of the night, and even more grateful in the morning when everything's full charged.

Bring your movies and shows with you with a 64 GB flash drive

PNY

Yes, the cloud is a wonderful thing, capable of storing a ton of data that's accessible to you anywhere at anytime — until it's not. Keeping a flash drive around is a secure way to transfer data from one place to another with a small footprint. You probably have one lying around, but the prices have fallen so far it's worth it to pick up a high-capacity USB drive one once and for all.

Ditch the cords with a Bluetooth keyboard

Omoton

Not too long ago, Bluetooth, or any wireless accessory was in the 'That'd be nice, but it's not worth it' category. Thankfully that's no longer the case. There are a number of inexpensive Bluetooth keyboard options, but we really like this one by Omoton. It's the same size as Apple's wireless keyboard and works wonderfully.

Treat yourself to a wireless mouse

Amazon

As long as we're reducing wire-clutter, why not pair the wireless keyboard with a wireless mouse? This one isn't Bluetooth, instead requiring you to plug a very small USB receiver into your computer, but hey, no more cables on your desk, and it's perfect for traveling with your laptop.

Stop worrying about your device's running out of battery with a portable battery pack

Amazon

This portable battery pack hits the sweet spot between capacity and portability. It's still small enough to fit easily in a pocket or purse, but has enough juice to fully charge an iPhone 6 almost 4 times, a Galaxy S6 3 times, and almost charge an iPad once.

Note: This one is slightly more expensive ($22.99) but it's such a good deal that we felt we had to include it.

Don't expect boomy bass or audiophile sound from this small speaker, but if you're looking for something small for light ambient music, or an on-the-go speaker, this should fit the bill. Although it's Bluetooth, you can still plug your devices in through an audio-in port if you need to. Another nice feature is its built-in microphone, which means it can be used during phone calls.

Keep your devices juiced up while driving with a car charger.

Stop hugging the wall charger and get yourself a longer charging cable.

Hami

A lot of the accessories on this list have been power-related, but it doesn't matter how many ports your charger has if you don't have any cables. Stocking up on either Lightening, Micro USB, or USB-C cables for whatever devices are in your life is a good investment, and at these prices it's more justifiable than ever to have a spare or two.

Stop spending so much on batteries and just get a set of rechargeable ones

Envelop

If you have a bunch of battery-powered tech products around, like, say, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and are tired of shelling out for single-use batteries, you should consider this alternative. Panasonic claims these batteries will keep 70% of their charge for up to 7 years when not in use, will survive 2,100 charge cycles, and will fully recharge in about 7 hours.
